Not staying at MainStay again

It was poor. “Breakfast “ was a bag with cheese crackers, a Little Debbie Cake and a small bottled water. Room was clean, but no sink drain covers, no ice machine, very wrinkled sheets and pillow cases and bed spread. The front desk attendant had such a heavy accent he was I’m impossible to understand. Awakened at 3:30 with continuous knocking on a door nearby with no inroom phone to call the front desk. The outdoor area was not clean. Ti had trash and cigarette buts on the ground. We will not be staying at MainStay Suites again.

The pool looked like the ooze the ninja turtles fell in. The room I had was newly renovated but didn’t have hot water at the sink. Loud guests. Weed smoke coming in through the air vent. They give you a half a sheet to cover up with… save your self the trouble. This is definitely on my never to return list

The breakfast that they our advertising came in a brown paper bag with a tiny water, a small packet of crackers and a tiny mini muffin. Also, the floors of the walkways of the motel are dirty. I think it's under new ownership and they are remodeling but a brown paper bag for breakfast? Really? Not sure what the coffee maker was all about, pretty amateur looking if you ask me. Not able to drink the nasty coffee. My room didn't have a number on it. Hopefully they get there act together. Also, didn't really feel that safe.

“Free breakfast” was a brown bag with crackers and a tasty cake. Better than nothing but like c’mon man. Also place was under construction and I’m not sure anyone cleaned the shower. Also toilet was clogged when we got there but they left me a plunger so I guess it worked out.

The bathroom was dirty. The outside of the property is filthy and the door numbers were indicated by dark blue painters tape. I was given no directions on how to get to my room so I spent 15 minutes walking around trying to figure out where to go. Just an awful experience. Thankful for the refund.

Disgusting facility

The place was unbelievable disgusting. Mattress stained, there was trash all over the facility. A moldy chair was left outside. A housekeeping cart was left abandoned outside. This was the most unsanitary facility I’ve ever seen.

It was absolutely horrific and I strongly encourage others to avoid this property. It was not only unsafe and insecure, but the building is fully under construction and the staff are not even sure which rooms are operational and have furniture. There were beer bottles and glass scattered around, and dirty sheets on the bed and the rooms had a foul odor. Trash and debris were strewn about and on top of paying for the rooms, I had to pay a $100 deposit on each room that I will not get back for a week or more. It was disgusting and I hope that hotels.com decides to remove this option from its list of available properties.

Stay away

My husband, daughter and myself checked in for a 4 night stay. The room was not ready for renting as the whole place is under renovation. There were 3 of us and only 2 towels in the room that weren't changed out at all the entire stay ! Thank god we brought some. Right outside our room door and in front if our window was a huge 20' dumpster with trash all over the ground so this was our vuew for 4 days. We had a lovely brand new t.v. in the room that did not work the entire time we were there, went to office 3 times to request it be fixed and were told "it'll work tomorrow " but to no avail it never did.

Not worth your time

The hotel wasn't clean and they charged my credit card after I left. After viewing the room, I turned the key in and told them I wanted to cancel the reservation. The room cost 88 dollars but put a 100 dollar holding fee for the room, which wasn't returned.

Renovating & not ready to rent rooms to guests.

Check in lady was nice, said we had a pool view. The pool was only 1/3 full of green water. We were moved to a room with parking lot view to see our car. The phone did not work. The TV did not work, no connection to a network. Front desk girl could not locate a manager or maintenance person to fix anything. We only stayed as the beds were new & comfortable, there was very little choice in the town. We did get on the adjacent hotel Wi-Fi to watch a movie on our laptop. The bath sink would not drain at all. The rooms are called suites with fridge, cooktop, small coffee pot. We went out to eat. But absolutely no utensils, cookware or dishes to accommodate anyone who panned for this.

This “hotel” is not somewhere my husband and I would normally stay but we’ve had a lot going on and didn’t check the rating and reviews beforehand. However, we were only staying one night and figured we’d “just deal with it”. However, from check in, I knew this would not be “it”. And to be clear, I NEVER leave reviews, but this hotel definitely deserves one and I mean that it the most negative way possible. Do not stay here! Dirty, smelly standing water in the walkway outside, broken lock on the room door, dirty tub and toilet, brown water when we first turned on the shower, smoke detector hanging off the wall, odd odor in the room…but the worst is that they charged me twice for the stay. They charged the card that I gave them to use and also the card I have on file with Expedia that I used to book the room which I didn’t even have on me! When I called them about it they said I would get the money back in my account and of course they never did and had to dispute the charge on the card that’s on file with Expedia. This is the worst hotel experience my husband have had in the whole 10 years we’ve been traveling together. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!! And if you have, please check your accounts! This is definitely a “motel” and the pictures on here are very deceiving. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK

Room had not been cleaned

The room had not been cleaned. The sheets had obviously not been changed, the toilet had not been sanitized. The bathroom smelled slightly like urine, but you could visually see that the toilet bowl needed cleaning. I complained and asked for a new room and they sent me back to the room and sent the cleaner to change the sheets. I was too exhausted to haul myself to a different place, I had been driving all day and needed to get up early to drive more. I slept a few hours on the changed sheets and then hit the road at 3am. I've stayed in a lot of cheap hotels, but never have I been offered a room where the sheets had not been changed. I think they said they had had a lot of guests the previous night, maybe they don't have the staff to clean all the rooms? I made the reservation (and paid) in the morning though, I would've thought a room could've been cleaned and held for me. When I arrived at 9pm, they made me wait some time while they checked a completely new customer in (seemingly making sure he had a clean room) and then just gave me this room- whole process took 45 minutes. The spread on one bed smelled. The other bed did not smell, but when I pulled back the sheets there was little bits of dust and debris in the bed, obviously someone had already used the sheets. Nothing disgusting, just very recognizable that they weren't fresh. There were no bugs, but this still ranks as my worst hotel stay in the US.

Lipstick on a pig

This place is being renovated and let’s just say it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. Some major points just were not addressed. Paint peeling off doors, it looked like someone had previously tried to break into the room I was in. I hate to think of what it looked like 5 years ago though so they’ve definitely made improvements. The coat of paint and new furniture do look alright and the exterior was alright.

I think this is family owned and the staff tries their best to be friendly. They upgraded me to a suite which was essentially 2 rooms in 1. The room has minimal cosmetic upgrade, the floor was dirty, no towels, no shower curtain, nothing in the room works! Morning breakfast was a brown bag with snacks from Costco! Maybe they need more time before they open for business.
